Flack’s breakdown revealed in unseen social media post

CAROLINE FLACK described the inner turmoil over her arrest for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend in a previously unseen social media post shared by her family.

The 40-year-old former Love Island presenter said “her whole world and future was swept” from under her feet following the incident with boyfriend Lewis Burton in December.

It came as the inquest into her death in London heard that the TV star was found “lying on her back” after an apparent hanging.

The hearing at Poplar Coroner’s Court was adjourned by assistant coroner Sarah Bourke until August 5.

Flack was found dead at her rented home in London on Saturday morning.

An unpublished Instagram post, shared posthumously by Flack’s family, revealed how the TV presenter felt the “walls” she had built around herself had “collapsed”.

And she denied assaulting former tennis player and model Burton, saying it was an “accident”.

She had been due to go on trial next month.

She wrote: “I have always taken responsibility for what happened that night. Even on the night.

“But the truth is .... It was an accident. I’ve been having some sort of emotional breakdown for a very long time. But I am not a domestic abuser. We had an argument and an accident happened.”

Flack’s mother, Chris Flack, shared the message in her local paper, the Eastern Daily Press, in Norfolk where the TV personality grew up.

She said her daughter was advised not to share the post on social media, but that her family “want people to read it”.
